One of the unique attributes and concepts we
see in the Bible, in particular the Old Testament is what is called the
generational blessing.It is and always
has been God’s intentions to pass along the blessings from a father to the
son.Let’s look at some of these:

Genesis 25:5: Abraham gave all that he had
unto Isaac

Genesis 28:1: And Isaac called Jacob, and
blessed him, and charged him, and said unto him, Thou shalt not take a wife of
the daughters of Canaan.

Genesis 49 (Entire Chapter): Jacob blesses
His twelve sons.

So the blessings of a father are to be handed
down to the sons.As those sons grow and
mature, then they hand down the blessings to their sons and so on.This way the purposes of God will increase
and mature.A spiritual father, John
Metcalfe gave this wonderful example and I would like to use it here:

The ancient builders of cathedrals in Europe
would begin the work by planting acorns first.They knew their grandsons would need to harvest the oak trees to
complete the roofing on the great buildings.

This means these fathers were looking ahead
and planting blessings for the generations to come.This is why the scripture says:

1 Timothy 5:8: But if
any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath
denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel

The concept of the generational blessing is
that the son takes from the father and builds.Are we generationally blessing the sons of God today?Sadly we are doing it on a very minimal scale
and let me explain.The church, who are
the believers, not the building is supposed to be a family.We are the House of God.Now, what God designed and what we are doing
for the most part are two separate things producing two completely different
results.In denominational religion we
have children who are born into it and all they know is the denomination and so
whatever the denomination teaches, that is all they know.If the denomination has been doing
conferences for 50 plus years and does it the same way, as that child grows “in
the denomination” they become a part of the machine and simply continue what
the fathers have already ordained.For a
great example, let’s go back to the builders of the cathedrals.That is like my father, planting the acorns
and then when I grow up, I plant acorns but nobody is building the
building.So it is a circle of ways
established by the denomination and many may not want to admit it but they
themselves are not maturing the sons.Their goal is to bring in as many members as they can. So the
denomination simply reproduces itself and not mature the son, they mature the
denomination.Now let’s look at God’s
way of doing it and look at it’s results.

God sends His Son and gives Him 12 sons to
start the Holy Nation.In turn His Son,
Jesus is also a Father (Everlasting Father, Isaiah 9:6).After discipling and maturing those sons, He
hands the ministry over to them and tell them to continue the ministry by
making disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:18-20).What this does is grow the House of God but not
just in numbers.As those 12 (Mathias in
place of Judas) distributed bread and wine and matured their sons, those sons
come to maturity and father other sons.Now what God does is He reveals more and more of Himself to every
generation so the maturation does not stick with a 500 year old revelation but
there are eternal truths being revealed to continue to prepare the Body of
Christ for the return of the Lord.Hence
God is bringing His fractured Body to order.To walk in the ways of the Lord, it requires a believer to fast and
pray. The reason I say this is because, if you have grown up denominationally
then the denomination is in you hard and it requires God to separate the traditions
of men from His ways.

To be honest, I do not know how you put God’s
way of maturing the Body in an institutional church when it is predicated on fathers
and sons.Are we willing to give up the
machine and do it God’s way?There is
grace in doing it God’s way.Are we
willing to give up the titles and allow God to manifest His gifts through us as
we mature?Are we willing to be fathered
and discipled in the ways and nature of the Father?

In the next message we will look at how do we
migrate from the institutional mindset to the household mindset.

Today’s Focus: The Results and Consequences of
Consistency and Inconsistency

Scripture: John 5:19; Ephesians 6:4

Greetings Kingdom Citizens

Why is the world the way it is?Simply, a lack of fathers. When there is a
lack of fathers there is a lack of discipline and order in the lives of
children.Now we left off the last
message with John 5:19 where Jesus says whatever I see the Father do, I
do.This is the model, to be one with
the Father.In our society today many
fathers can care less what their sons are doing.They just let the children grow to be what
they want to be. Many fathers allow the children to go uncheck just as long as
they are not aggravating him.Now what
is so bad about this is when you mix religion in it.So now we have a child that see the father
pay no attention to them, let them do whatever they want, yell, scream and fuss
all the time when he gets aggravated but on Sunday he is the pastor or deacon
of the church screaming hallelujah and praise the Lord.The children see a Sunday man and a Monday
through Saturday man.The children can
pick up on this inconsistency and know that the way their father is living is
wrong.Hence you have children that grow
up and say “I do not want to be like my father”.This is a very devastating mindset to have
because even though the child has a biological father, the child feels
fatherless making them an orphan mentally in a house with a father.Now I am specifically not dealing with
mothers because most times it is the fathers that are lacking and for the sake
of this series we are looking at spiritual fathers.

Now that we know the mindset of the children
is an orphan even though they are living under their father’s roof, what is the
mindset of the father?He is an orphan
too!A father like this is only
concerned about his own interests and he has learned how to run, hide, and
shift blame (remember Adam in the Garden).His premier motivation is to possess, acquire and control.Sounds just like the culture of the orphan.
So now we have an orphan trying to father a orphan.That will not work. There is really not a
focus on the spiritual growth of the children to bring them into adulthood, the
father has handed that down to the pastor and the school system.Huh?Yes, where do you think the term “youth pastor” even came from?I have not found anywhere in scripture where
God said ordain a “youth pastor”.But I
do know that the scripture clearly says:

Ephesians 6:4: AND YE FATHERS, PROVOKE NOT
YOUR CHILDREN TO WRATH: BUT BRING THEM UP IN THE NURTURE AND ADMONITION OF THE
LORD.

So whose responsibility is it to bring and
rear the children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord?THE FATHERS.Now this means the fathers must be spiritually lead and be mature to do
this. This means we cannot live by the “do as I say, not as I do rule”this breeds hypocrisy.But we must live by the rule “do as I say and
as I do” just like Jesus was lead by the Father.This relationship and maturation is a
hands-on experience and one that God will not allow you to delegate your
responsibility to another.What is a shame
is that the father who chose not to step up will send their children to a
church house.Please pay
attention.Because they lack spiritual
maturity and discernment, they will drop the children off at the church and
then go back home.Never mind that they
are teaching damnable heresies in the church.Never mind if they are teaching that homosexuality is ok because God
loves everybody and everything.God designed
the maturation process of natural children AS WELL AS HIS CHILDREN to grow
through fathers. This is why spiritual fathers are the answer for the world
today because they put on display the exact representation of the Father so
that the sons can mature.This way of
living promotes the “do as I say and do” culture because the spiritual father
is connected and has been matured by the Father and the counsel and ways being
demonstrated are the same ways and nature demonstrated by the Father.When there is consistency then there is
credibility and then there is growth and maturation.This is the desire for the spiritual father
to be an example unto the sons.

In the next message we will look at
generational blessings of the fathers.

Peace, Love and Grace from the Father,

Growing up as a young boy in my parent’s
house, I can distinctly remember times when my father was always introducing me
and my brothers to family.I remember
saying “man, dad wants us to know everybody” and at the time I did not think I
would remember anybody because there was so many.My father would speak about the past and the
way things were and how His father raised him.I can even remember times when we stepped out of line with family and
how any and everybody could have disciplined and punished us.Hey, I can remember hearing my dad say “If he
acts up, blister his butt”.Now I am
being real about this but my father was huge on respect for your elders outside
of your immediate family.I remember
times when my dad would say: “Hey guys I am proud of you”.But one thing I do remember distinctly is
that he did not accept failure on any level.He believed that we could be the best and anything and mediocre was not
acceptable.He pushed us hard and
sometimes it did not work because of our personalities but nonetheless he
pushed because he loved.As a young man
I did not understand it all but now as I have grown I can appreciate what my
father was doing and how he desired that we carry on the family name and take
it to the next level, never forgetting the foundations that were laid by those
before us.I said all this and I am sure
that many of you can relate but unfortunately, and this saddens my heart, some
cannot because there was no father in the home to discipline and hold these
things down.The role of a father in
these days is more crucial than ever and with two sons, I am understanding more
and more the importance of focusing on the spiritual growth of my family.

When we talk about spiritual fathers, we have
stated that it is a mature son of God demonstrating the ways and nature of the
Father. Now just like it was my father’s desire for me to take the family to
the next level and take it past where he and his brothers brought it, so is it
with the spiritual father. There is a since of pride that a father receives
when their son is achieving and growing beyond the heights that they made it
to. The spiritual father delights in this same thing.The spiritual father’s role is to mature the
sons.He desires and longs for the
children that God has assigned him to mature to learn from him and then take it
to the next step in preparing the sons for the return of Christ.The pride he has comes from a loving heart
and affection for the sons.Now the sons
know that the fathers love them because it is evident in the time spent in
teaching and nurturing the son.The sons
obedience to their fathers bring honor to the house and joy into the father’s
heart.A great example of this is our
Elder Brother, Jesus Christ.Let me show
you!

Matthew 3:13-17: Then
cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John to be baptized of him.But John forbade him, saying, I have need to
be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it
becometh us to fulfill all righteousness.Then he suffered Him. And Jesus when He was baptized, went straightway
out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the
Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: And lo a voice
from Heaven, saying: THIS IS MY BELOVED SON IN WHOM I AM WELL PLEASED

The Father was extremely proud of His son for
His obedience and submission unto Him.Jesus understood that to be one with the Father, He must be submitted,
spirit, soul and flesh to Him.In being
one with the Father there is a consistency brought to the Earth in this fact:

John 5:19: Verily
verily I say unto you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He seeth the
Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.

This is the consistency a spiritual father
must demonstrate.In the next message we
will look at the results of inconsistent fathering on the natural and spiritual
level.

Peace, Love and Grace,

Psalm 23:2:He maketh me to lie down in green pastures;
he leadeth me beside the still waters.

The
unique word in this passage is maketh.Now you read it as the Lord makes or forces me to lie down but that is
the wrong context because we know that the Lord does not force us to do
anything.We choose through our free
will.So how does the Lord make us lie
down?It is because we are following
His voice as the sheep does the shepherd.In following Him, he makes us lie down in green pastures.. This is a
picture of rest.In addition he brings
us to a place of provision.Second, he
leads me beside the still water.Still
water or tranquil water is a picture of peace but also He is leading us to a
place where we can quench our thirst.We
know water is a picture of the Word of God.

So
when we come to know the Shepherd we learn His voice.We follow Him and go where He goes and in
following Him, He provides for us and leads us to places of rest and
peace.When we find the Shepherd and
learn of His ways the Scriptures say we will find rest for our souls.

In
the turbulent times we are in rest seems to be only in the after life and not
in the present day but I am here to share with you that is not true….Here is why:

Hebrews
4:7,8:Again, he limiteth a certain day
saying in David, Today, after so long a time, as it is said, Today if ye will
hear his voice, harden not your hearts.For if Jesus (Joshua) had given them rest, then would he not afterward
have spoken of another day.There
remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God

So
if we do not harden our hearts in these days and hearken to the voice of the
Lord and do as He commands He says there is a rest that is given to you.The rest for your soul is experienced when
you have gained rule over your soul in a particular area and submitted your
will to the will of God and having full confidence in the thing God is doing or
going to do.You cease from strife and
stress to rest and peace.This is
available to the people of God today….if you do not harden yourhearts.
